  • AFAIK their stance is to use sanctions first. I agree that there are still too many “pro russia” (or at least “russia-naive”) voices in this party, but I think it is an interesting question: why don’t we sanction everything that’s possible?

    The answer is of course money. But it’s not (necessarily) a sign of being “pro russia” if you’d rather sacrifice some economical growth than people’s lifes.

    Plus: their federal chairman Jan van Aken said sanctions would have more impact if they come all at once. Russia’s economic system could (somewhat) adjust step by step to the individual sanctions. Harsh sanctions from the beginning might have been a shock to their system from which it could not have (so easily) recovered, That sounds rather plausible to me.


















  • I think our side should put more focus on the structures. If a system e.g. let’s Taylor Swift fly around in a private jet and even rewards her with more money from concerts and increased brand value, I can obviously still blame her (because she didn’t have to do it). But if I want things to change, I need to change the system.
